Parade follows new route this year
ROCKWALL, TX (November 11, 2014) As the winner of a recent poster contest, Maryjose Salazar, a fourth grade student at Amy Parks Heath Elementary, will serve as the Grand Marshal of the 45th Annual Christmas Parade, presented by the Kiwanis Club of Rockwall County.
According to the judges, Maryjose’s artwork best depicted the parade theme “Hometown Christmas – Rockwall Texas Style,” and her artwork is being incorporated into the parade posters going up around Rockwall.
Maryjose will be joined by her mother, Veronica Salazar, and sisters Veronica, 10, and Adamaris, 7. At school Maryjose enjoys art, math, writing and reading.
The parade will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6. Due to ongoing road construction, this year’s parade will take a new route. The parade route will begin at Utley Middle School, proceed north on Townsend Road, then west on Boydstun, north on Fannin, and then east on Rusk, ending near Dobbs Elementary.
This year’s parade includes a variety of entries including several horse units, the combined Rockwall and Rockwall Heath Marching Bands and Drill Teams and local business and civic organization floats.
Entries for floats are still being accepted. Additional parade information including the opportunity to submit an entry form may be found on the Kiwanis website at rockwallkiwanis.org or by calling 972-722-6001.
